Sanchez, for all his insight, has done more harm than good. Did he really think the press would publish his criticisms of them? All he did was give them sound bites to cause pain to the Bush administration. Whatever he thought he might accomplish, he only provided ammo to the anti-war crowd.

Let me begin by stating, I, for along time now have taken the position of posting on the forum, not to initiate exchange with someone who did not post to me, especially in disagreement. It has been safer and easier on my old ticker! I only post this to you in an effort to have you re-think, perhaps, your position. It is not meant as a personal affront.

You need to re-read the entire speech that the General gave at the "MILITARY REPORTERS AND EDITORS" LUNCHEON!

Have we, citizens of the republic, gotten to the point that we can no longer, as eloquently and truthfully as Gen. Sanchez did, state our views for fear that someone else will take them "out of context"? If so, we are indeed doomed!

And that is a topic that we could argue for days on end with no solution if you truly believe what you posted.

So sitting by and saying NOTHING out of fear is better???? It’s about time people started getting called to the carpet. Who gives a sh!t what the anti-war people think, nothing, absolutely nothing other than surrender will appease them.

Yeah, retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez.

Retired because he COULDN`T GET THE JOB DONE !

‘Sour grapes Sanchez’, that`s his nickname bro :-)

"Did he really think the press would publish his criticisms of them?"

Sanchez: Once reported, your assessments become conventional wisdom and nearly impossible to change.

Yes, he knows.

I'll get this wrong, but I'm reminded of a story where GWB is fishing and his boat sinks. Without breaking a sweat GWB walks on the water to shore.

The media reports "President Bush can't swim!"
